Craft Edge

Hello- I had to break down and purchase a Cricut Expression 2 (my old one crashed and I'm waiting for a new USB for my Black Cat).
Anyway, I'm trying to connect to a new Cricut & Cut. However I get this error: Cricut Machine can not be found.
I removed and reinstalled all of the software & Drivers (i think sucessfully). I upgraded and I can cut.

I'm sure I am forgetting something really simple. Does anyone have any ideas?

The machine is on,the vinyl is loaded and nothing....

Are you trying to hook it up towork with SCAL? Because if you are, it's too bad, because the Cricut E2 is not compatible, and will never work with any version of SCAL. Sorry.

If youre using it with scal, like me,I ususlly get that message & its apparant that the usb cord isnt plugged into either the machine or the pc. Ive even hooked up a usb cord that didnt work at all & got that message,it was just a bad usb cord I hope this helps

Ohhhh! Just seen its a Cricut 2...Sorry!! So it isnt the usb after all...
